I’ve worked in an office where they gave me Windows 2000, but I didn’t mind because I could see the XP scenery when looking out the office window :-)

I use Karabiner Elements to allow me to press and hold space while hitting 1234567890-= to get F1 through F12. I find this to be an acceptable workaround.

I was very surprised as well. It’s pretty awesome isn’t it?

You would or would not have thought? I suspect you forgot a negation.

I think if it avoids having to repeat the type then type inference helps. And especially that last Java example, there I feel it is useful: for (var x : someMap.entrySet()) { String key = x.getKey(); Entity value = x.

For the record, I found 67% of the words, and said yes to 0% of the nonwords. I proceeded conservatively, only saying yes when I have seen the word before, not when I guessed it should be a word. They say this is fairly high for a native s

I don't quite see that I should be using Edge on Mac because Edge on Windows is easier to manage.

Without a shell, how does one debug if anything goes wrong?

I agree with GP. The 'sign' function with a mandatory argument I understand. Making the argument optional I don't understand.

Sane or not, it pays the bills... It really does help to get a reminder from the IDE regarding which methods exist and what their parameter lists are. For C, ctags works well enough I guess and we can complete function names that way. But

I don't see how they could be done with regexes. It seems to me that most of them require class hierarchy analysis so that you don't touch the wrong method that just happens to have the same name.

The article mentions this problem near the end, and the component they built provides a solution.

AFAIK, there are no neutered professions in German. So that would be a big change, it's hard to imagine. I know very little French, but if I understand correctly, because person in French is female (la personne), you could have a sent

A normal function call evaluates the arguments and then calls the function. Because macro expansion does something before evaluating the arguments, you can say that evaluating the arguments has been delayed. I feel this is just looking at t

But you can have the initial key show a notification that describes the possible keys to press next. Then if you forget a key combo, you can always look it up.

On iOS, the keyboard just suggests compounds. This works for those you use often. Another option is to choose a prefix, then backspace (over the space), then add to the prefix. Example compound word: Schleifmaschinenverleih (word boundari

Why can't the NLP split the compounds? I think this problem of splitting happens in multiple languages -- the submission mentions German, and then you have Chinese which doesn't have spaces, so you have to split words. (I unders

Actually, I found this pretty useful. I have to use "graphical" programs (browser, IDE, email client) rather than terminal based ones. And the graphical ones seem to assume that their windows are pretty large. Let's say I s

The article says that making the problems too hard results in a _worse_ selection, and not just more false negatives.
